You might be a Hot Air Balloon Mom if you’ve:
(I'm 9 for 10)
- Stalked your child’s Facebook page.
- Driven to the (party, Waffle House, Movie Theatre, etc.) to confirm child was there
- Considered opening child's correspondence, by steam – held to light for preview.
- Quietly listened outside child's room (more than 10 seconds) wondering what they’re laughing about. (skype, phone, tv...)
- Peeked through blinds as they return, or leave.
- Collected 5+ friends’ cell numbers. (Tip: Save when child calls from friends’ phones)
- Celebrated with happy dance - first time they drove themselves to practice.
- Set up a joint debit card so you know where they’ve been.
- Watched child (more than 47 seconds) while they sleep – past the 17th birthday.
- Wished you could send child a “Screamer” letter (ala: Mrs. Weasley, of Harry Potter)
(I'm 9 for 10)
You might need a little coaching if you’ve:
- Posted your angst on their Facebook page.
- Publicly appearanced inside the venue of question
- Opened letter; glued back together.
- Knocked on door, asked with whom they’re having fun
- Banged on window, waiving as they come/go
- Called/texted more than 4 contacts if you haven’t heard from child recently.
- Demonstrated happy dance for child.
- Inquired why they spent $11.92 at Subway or Starbucks
- Attempted to coerce information while they’re asleep
- Googled “Screamer” and would have ordered – if it could be YOU screaming.
The Scale… If you’ve only offended once, adjust score.
There, now I’m 4 for 10.
Timing is everything.
